Perfect score on "A Diverse World" In

- Another successful attempt at slicing some time off my personal record which stood at 17:31 (achieved last week) This was a great seed and a great, well practised player could have got an insane time on this game. I'll keep going at this and aim for sub 10 minutes, and who knows, in the process maybe I'll even knock Geography challenges off the 5th spot of the geotips leaderboard with a sub 7:16.
I hope to see a return of Future Tom one of these days. What a lad.
He should start a TH-cam channel
I got a feeling he will show up in the future
@@AxxLAfriku u wot
Yea that's crazy, a man of many talents
I want to see more of Past Tom, personally.
14:25 Well after he's done....."Please tell me we're recording." LMFAO - pure Tom.
"sorry, nope, gotta do it again-"
I wonder how many videos we have missed out on because he actually turned out not to be recording :o
@@tccb1833 2
You know Tom's focused when he doesn't give a single comment regarding Batman Bridge
There's a Batman park in Melbourne too 😁
Or how beautiful Valdes was. Those mountains surrounding that town man
@@Roscododger omg yes I thought I had to go there but I dont see myself in Alaska anytime soon haha
Even if this round hadn't broken the record. Alone for the "Shu-bie" gag it was already worth it!
That was gold, haha
Makes me want to see the super-cut of all the jokes we missed in the previous 24 attempts
@@danielpeters9110 same. I freaking love puny/dad jokes
Was waiting for him to say he didn't have a Shubie-doo
(if you're wondering what I'm talking about, "Scoobie Doo" is rhyming slang for "clue")
"Get in!" count: 0
Incredible. Congrats on the new PR. Put this in the olympics lol
Where are we going?
He changed to "Good stuff" now hahah
@benny yeah that’s always a tough one to call. I don’t think it is exactly the right get in we’re looking for though.
@@getinwizard2877 I agree with your call to not count it. Thanks for your service.
wanted to like this comment but you're at 666 likes and i feel like it would be bad luck to break that loll
Tom: gets a perfect score in 13:24
Me after moving around for 45 minutes and scouring the map for 30 more: Yeah, I think that's it
*places guess*
"You were 9126 km away from the correct location."
"We're in a place called Valdez? I find that hard to believe"
Believe it or not, the British and Russians weren't the only ones who explored Alaska. The Spanish did as well. Valdez is named after naval officer Antonio Valdés y Fernández Bazán by explorer Salvador Fidalgo in 1790
I was also surprised he hadn’t heard of the Valdez oil spill.
@@sheric3734 To be fair, the Exxon Valdez oil spill probably wasn’t as big of a news story in Britain.
@@jasonmcdaniel345 It is well known globally he probs just didn't make the connection
About the Swedish one. The northern coast has granite and grey rock. That kind of limestone and similar is mainly found on the islands in the south east.
And if "garn" is part of a placename, it's probably Gotland.
At first I thought that looked way too rough to be Swedish (I'm Finnish and have been there a lot) but I guess rural Gotland isn't as idyllic as the western coast lol
If every comment was as insightful as this, Tom would have every WR by now.
Also, you mainly see birch, pine and spruce up there, the trees are shorter and there is a certain light that me as a swede is very good at identifying
Cool
The problem with you getting faster in speedruns is, we'll keep getting shorter videos.
There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a town you're looking for but you don't notice it ahaha
I thought the same when I spotted Valdez as he was zooming in on Alaska
@@toughboiobelix7450 YES! ahah Im always like 'It's right thereeee'
theres been times i have compromised and just placed down a guess in the general area i think it is, and then i find out i scanned over the exact spot where it was earlier lol
Can't believe you ended up in "Grogarnsberget" in Sweden 😂 Gotland is pretty unique in nature, with the limestone and dry terrain.
We used to wash our clothes at that house where the starting point was! Before we had water in our summer house 😅
Crazy, been there myself as a kid during the summers growing up
been there as well but more west
What are the odds y'all
Liten chans haha
@@Mr0Anonymous0 SLIM
2:28
Tom: I'm looking for the 224 as well
The 224 in the middle of the screen: 👁️👄👁️
Shubenacadie is based off the Mi'kmaw word Sipekne'katik, which means "place abounding in groundnuts" or "place where the wapato grows." And fun fact: Valdez is known for the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Oil and the US....they go together like my country and nukes.
Nice googling Bro
Tom: Let's see what I can achieve today
Tom after the 24 attempts: *I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that*
The confidence when clicking the spawn point, incredible
it would take me 20 minutes to get one perfect score, this man gets 5 in. 13 minutes, insane effort Tom!
I've spent several hours before on single rounds in my own country trying to get a perfect score.
if you've ever wondered anyone who learned about your channel from crossing an entire country in one line that went viral actually stayed subscribed and watching, I am one of them, your content is amazing mate keep it goin
Nova Scotian here, got a good laugh out of "shoe-bin kendie", but more importantly a pleasant surprise at a round that i almost immediately recognised for once. cheers Tom, love the vids as always.
The pronunciation! Can't blame someone not from our province not knowing how to say it tho, would love to hear him try to pronounce Musquodoboit
@@2amCryptid I'm well convinced by now that Nova Scotians have taken the piss out of our horrifying hodge podge of European, native, and just plain stupid made up place names and every combination in between, until they've just become history, and not a one is pronounced "right"
Same
Had a good laugh too. That one was just down the road from me! Shoo-ben-ACK-ah-dee for you foreigners
I'm from Moncton, New Brunswick! I've passed by Shubenacadie a lot when I had Hockey tournaments in East Hants and it's actually so crazy to see that out of all the places in the world, one of his rounds was in a town that's so close to home! I was surprised with his knowledge of Atlantic Canada, especially from a British person
The skip of 24 attempts is just.. Insane. Not even a highlight reel of the other attempts. It's hours of work for 15 minutes of video. King of geography
That Wyoming find was proper witchcraft, Tom. That landscape could have been about 20 different US states.
Yes, and I was thinking "Arvada is clearly a portmanteau of Arizona and Nevada ". Wrong.
but he knew roughly where Gillette was, so that was what got him there, not the landscape
Did not expect a round on the west coast of Tassie. Represent!
Haha I’ve literally been on the exact boat he zoomed in on on the Arthur River on a cruise when. Couldn’t believe it when I saw it
The second I saw that fire sign I knew it was Arthur River!
This is the best channel I’ve found in a long time keep up the content Tom!
Welcome!
I was so excited when you were in Tassie, and then stunned that you even know where Launceston is hahah. Good on you, Tom!
Hope youve not taken offence in his first instinct being nz coz it was mine too and landscape is quite similar imo
I saw the brown signs to the accommodation and instantly thought "That is a Tassie style tourist sign all right!" I was also pretty impressed that he saw Launceston and instantly knew it was Tasmania too!
@@Zavstar Oh the landscape is similar for sure! Very understandable that there is some confusion hahah
@@CharlesGregory There was a picture of Tasmania on the van to be fair.
Can't believe the unexpected and nice shoutout to my small home village Burvik in Sweden, in your hunt for Herrvik 👍🇸🇪
Noone in Sweden has ever heard of Burvik Or Herrvik :/
@@Guildforsucks hm that depends 😅
@@Guildforsucks except the people living there
@@Guildforsucks Yeah we do
He shouted out my Province of New-Brunswick, Canada in the first round too! I know it's less of a big deal but it's still pretty cool because it's probably the least known Province in Canada
Valdez is known for the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and a huge earthquake in the 60s. I visited there two years ago - beautiful area!
From what you said it definitely sounds like a great place to visit
All those snowy mountains around it makes it so mystical looking!
Right, when he goes "there's a valdez in alaska?" I was laughing and I don't live in alaska. Exxon-Valdez was such a big deal.
Yes but I think that's what he is referring to. I also did not know that the Ship was named after a place nor that it happened near that place.
@@jkllkj12345 I'm thinking maybe it wasn't big news in the UK?
On the Sweden one, there was a bus you could have looked at to get the name of a larger city/town nearby. Something to look for in the future. Awesome round, mate!
I grew up like 20 minutes from Shubenacadie and I was screaming "SHUBIE IS SHORT FOR SHUBENACADIE!!!" At my computer so thanks for that! I appreciate you and I love your videos!
Don't ever change, Tom.
I might be in the minority but I definitely prefer the PB not being in the title of the video. I like the surprise of not knowing how fast you will get a perfect score.
but the length of the video pretty much gives it away anyway.
@@fuelingthefire2389 Well yes and no. Depends on how the video is edited, if searching is sped up, or if he plays multiple rounds. He could have a 7 minute game in a 20 minute video if there were multiple decent attempts that were close to PB.
Don't get me wrong I still watch the videos and enjoy them a lot; this is just a personal gripe.
Agreed (:
was boutta go sleep but i guess now im gonna watch some british dude set records in geoguesser
Your videos bring me so much joy
I'm from the Halifax area, Shubie is the common nickname of Shubenacadie. So crazy seeing that place pop up.
It's an odd feeling because there's thousands of Cities in the world so just the fact that he randomly ends up somewhere that close to home is crazy
Simply incredible Tom. Keep it up!!
Your skill is incredible. I love watching !
He did it again, mouse near Valdez and he missed it
Yelling at my computer because of that
Same with Gillette in Wyoming
I was SCREAMING
Why do you people assume he's staring at his mouse cursor? It's just for panning the map around, nobody stares at their cursor all the time.
@@vesmolol9185 The point is that it is right there on the screen in plain sight and he doesn't see it. I'm still trying to figure out why he misses the places sometimes and finds them at other times.
Grats on the PB!
Holy smokes that last round was absolutely awesome
Blimey, much more decisive than I'm used to you being. I guess that's how you have to be to get those high scores. Well done!
I live less than an hour from shubenacadie, you were right in your assumption that it’s a nickname, us scotians call it shubie, there’s a well known wildlife park there that we just fall “shubie park”, very nice place
I live in Prince Edward Island (neighboring Nova Scotia). I have watched an insane amount of your videos and have yet to see a PEI round! Was able to guess Nova Scotia quickly though, but hoping one day that a PEI round shows up!
Hey Tom, you can drag and drop that OBS symbol from that little " ^ " section in your task bar directly on to your taskbar. It shows a little red dot, if you are recording.
Anyways good job, mate!
Haven’t watched it yet, but I already know it’s gonna be a good vid.
*know
@@deanpilkington2605 yep, my bad
Nova Scotian here! Shubie is the nickname of Shubenacadie (Shoe-ben-ak-a-dee) :)
Acadie as in Acadia, I presume?
@@maf654321 Actually, no. Acadie is a anglicized Mi'kmaq suffix meaning "Place". "Place abounding in ground nuts" is the direct Mi'kmaq translation :)
@@N8URNURD Glad I asked then! So would the Acadie of the Acadians also come from the Mi’kmaq or just a coincidence?
Shubiedubieduba Shubiedubieduba Agent P!
@@maf654321 Acadia was the name of the French colony that encompassed a part of the region. It's a stand alone word, but probably yoinked from the Mi'kmaq language, just like Kanata!
Oh damn I've been on holiday just around the corner of your 4th round. Immediately recognized that road and bridge as Arthur River.
As an American I was super impressed with the Wyoming find. I had no idea where you were, and I have visited family in Wyoming!
3rd biggest city in WY, and near tourist spots (devil's tower), the razor company.
@@mad1337nes Isn't the 3rd biggest city Laramie?
@@kevin8029 they're effectively tied, and yes technically it probably is (during the school year atleast) but google still shows Gillette third if you just google "major cities wyoming". Also I think Tom has done some traveling in the US. and might have driven across the 90. It's also the only thing that sticks out on the NE side of the state when you're just looking at maps.
Still a good pull from him, but he definitely saw it on the map/knew the general location because it's not exactly middle of nowhere, atleast not for the rest of that area.
@@mad1337nes Okay but third biggest city in Wyoming is what, like 28 people?
;)
If you made 24 attempts before this, and you didn't know you were going to get a record this time, does this mean you had to commentate every attempt knowing that most likely no one would ever hear it?
I'm sure at this point he just always talks to himself
That’s correct, and that’s one of the main things that drains my energy. If I’m to go sub 10 minutes I’ll probably have to ask future Tom to commentate post edit!
@@GeoWizard That would be fine with me Tom!
@@GeoWizard we all love future Tom so no worries there. What an absolute lad that man is.
@@GeoWizard might as well upload those attempts as well, I'm sure people will watch them!
thanks for making a vid on my bday tom! watching on a remote island off the coast of cartagena, colombia !
So cool to see geoguessr get included in GDQ. Congrats on the new PB!
Almost a 10 min improvement after 2 videos of attempts 👏
It great having you drop in on Arthur River when I've just been there!
I never imagined I would see a spot near Gillette show up but I knew immediately where you had landed. :)
Absolutely fantastic run. These are some of my favorite challenges. I love the commentary you provide us as well. It's nice to see your methods and hear your thought processes.
Proud Swede feeling very much part of your success! 👏
Ayyy you just passed my home town! 6:13 - 6:15
for a whole 2 seconds I saw my town/city's name WOOO!
Always hope for videos like these that we get a round in Canada and mu wish was granted, recognized NS pretty quickly, very unique kind of place.
you singing the marmalade song took me for such a surprise love it
Waooaww congrats !! it was amazing :) (I am a newcomer on your channel, greetings from Belgium !! ^^ )
Im from Fairbanks Ak and you zoomed in on it. Used to go halibut and pink salmon fishing with my family in Valdez ad a kid. I appreciate the flashbacks!!!
i listen to these while i’m relaxing and i think it’s really funny that i knew exactly where you were in #1 cuz i’m from halifax. I had friends who grew up in Shubenacadie (pronounced Shubin-aca-dee)
im from alaska and know valdez very well and I went full primal when you got it, instantly recognized it. crazy moment
Can't wait to see the sub 10 min record. keep it up bud!
Frighteningly dastardly feeling upon hearing you assume that you were hundreds of miles away for a couple of areas that I've spent a lot of time in.
Congrats on honing in to a perfect score so quickly from those starting points!
I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia not far from Shubenacdie - it was really cool seeing this come up. Shubie is what we call it for short.
Stunning work
Amazing round. Hope you’re feeling better. Wouldn’t be a Geowizard vid without a frantic check to make sure you’re still recording.
Nice work! Tassie girl here, glad Google doesn't leave us off the map like others Lol 🤣
i thought that last round was going to be a goner but you actually pulled it off in less than 2 min, great job tom!
Going in that early on Sweden was insane, such a long coastline with all the islands and everything. With so little to go on as well, nicely done mate!
awww, Shubie is my hometown! so nice to see it on here :) Shubenacadie is pronounced shoo-ben-NA-Ka-dee btw! great round!!
12:11 Throat clearing in the theme of Mario for anybody that loves a good grumble.
Always cool to see places I know on geoguessr. Some friends of mine live in Gillette, so I recognized it immediately.
it’s so cool seeing tom looking at your home province
@9:02 I was screaming at tht point, Valdez was already visible on the map on the southcoast.
“IT’S RIGHT THERE TOM” - me
love your content m8. my gf says your voice is very calming and one can easily fall asleep hearing it.
I find the fact that he is so intrigued by geography more enjoyable than the geography
Wow! I am so impressed you knew Tasmania and Launceston so quickly. My Nan lives up that way.
This episode is so crazy. The first one in Shubenacadie, NS is like 15 min from where I grew up. Where you see the church, I used to eat pizza and shop at the Golden star convenience store. Right there is where Gabriel Wortman gunned down Heidi Stevenson and Joey Weber during the massacre here. That's grim, but very cool to see it here.
So impressive!
beautiful tassie!!
12:11 clearing his throat Mario style
LMAO
These consistent Tom uploads are fucking amazing after that little bit of a dry spell (which is understandable after the straight line mission) My favorites so far are the GeoDetectives
I grew up a block from the corner of Conley Rd. and Kitchen Ave in Shubie. If you continued up the hill instead of down the hill to the #2, where you asked "what is that", (that's a Tinsmith shop actually, the oldest one still in existence before it was converted into a museum), would be the corner of Conley Rd. and Tulley Ave, the street I lived on for over 20 years.
Shubenacadie is nicknamed Shubie by the locals. The Shubie River, and Shubie Park in Dartmouth all use the shortened nickname of Shubie instead of Shubenacadie.
I live elsewhere in the province now, but I don't think you'll ever randomly get as close to my house as you did in this video.
As a swede who has visited Gotland many times, the fauna is very unique. It's one of those places I always have gut feeling when I get it, and I am never wrong about it :)
Very impressive
You’re awesome!❤️❤️
As an American I appreciate English people's pronunciation of "H"! It only makes sense to begin the spelling with the letter you're spelling.
Incredible
I finally got sub 10 on urban world, which is a much easier map but still I was grinding at that for a while!
Congrats man still very impressive
I did not know until recently that Tom made all of the music he puts in these videos! The whole album is amazing and gets me super nostalgic about the how to not travel europe videos.
Incredible content tom
I recognized Herrvik on the first picture frame. Grew up on Gotland. Very beautiful around there
Arggh I could see Valdez right to the South, wish I could shout through the screen lol! Still, great work as always!
This guy’s voice is so satisfying to listen to
bro I have no idea how you just found that one in wyoming so quickly. looking for highway numbers and towns in the USA is usually very time consuming for me
Great round, especially impressive that you found the place on Gotland after starting so far up north. One telltale sign that told me from the start that it was the south was the old time windmill that you swooshed by, they only exist in the south of Sweden (reservations for some rare exception). The islands - Öland and Gotland, look quite northern, maybe because they're subject to the open sea
Have you considered getting a second monitor to leave OBS on? So you can know you’re recording all the time? Great run lol
Tom says Gillette over and over, and my attention perks up from across the room…. Hearing my last name over and over! 😂
I've noticed that every time I'm in Sweden or Finland I'm always much further south in the country than I think I am. It's true that the trees and everything look like you are very far north (which I guess you are in the global scheme of things) but you're often midway down Sweden or near the southern part of Finland despite that. I think when you're actually very far north in either country you wouldn't see any deciduous trees really like there were in this round, it's just all pine trees up there.
A hint for the US -- and you probably know this by now, is that our highway numbering system for national routes (number on a white shield) and interstates (blue numbers -- equivalent of your motorways) follow a grid. Blue signs (interstates) go low to high from west to east (so I-5 will be on the west coast; I-95 will be on the east). Even numbers go low to high from south to north, so I-10 will be on the south and I-90 will be up north.) US Routes (white sign on shield) flip this: US 1 is on the east coast. US 101 is on the Pacific (west coast.) US 2 is on the north; US 90 is on the south. There may be stretches where they go opposite of their direction as they twist around the US, but that should get you in the general area of the US where you are. And if you see a 3-digit US or Instate like 355, it usually means it will, at some point, connect with the 2-digit road at some point, but it may run in any direction. It's basically an offshoot or connecting road.
Much more pleasant to watch than the nmpz stuff
Fun fact: "Shubie" aka Shubenacadie has a motorcycle track that is used for the Canadian motorcycle championships. I've been to the race there before actually when I was younger!
Will there ever be a return of NMPZ record attempts? They had me hooked
